A Space Designed for Retreat Work
The Seed is an intimate retreat estate overlooking Lake Atitlan, thoughtfully designed for small groups seeking space, beauty, and intentional time together.
The estate combines ecological architecture, terraced gardens, and panoramic lake views with attentive concierge service and carefully curated experiences. From wellness and ceremony to cultural experiences and daily logistics, our team quietly supports every detail, allowing you to be fully present.
Hosting a retreat involves far more than securing a venue.
At The Seed, we provide the infrastructure, coordination, and operational support needed so you can focus fully on leading your group.
Beyond logistics, we also offer access to a unique cultural and ceremonial ecosystem rooted in the traditions of Lake Atitlan. Our team works with trusted local practitioners to coordinate experiences such as Mayan ceremonies, cacao rituals, temazcal, wellness services, and other meaningful cultural encounters.
Meals are prepared fresh each day, highlighting seasonal ingredients and traditional flavors of Guatemala. The estate itself is designed to support a slower, more intentional way of living, with natural materials, open architecture, gardens, and lake views.

Wellness & Embodied Practices
Retreat leaders may incorporate a wide range of practices, from yoga, breathwork, and somatic movement to sound and therapeutic bodywork, supported by our local network of experienced facilitators when needed.
Food Philosophy
Meals at The Seed are prepared fresh each day by local hands using seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms and gardens. Our food is simple, nourishing, and designed to sustain clarity, energy, and presence throughout the retreat experience.
